2. Description of Related Art

In recent years, with the rise of portable electronic devices having camera functionalities, the demand for an optical image capturing system is raised gradually. The image sensing device of ordinary photographing camera is commonly selected from charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS Sensor). In addition, as advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology enables the minimization of pixel size of the image sensing device, the development of the optical image capturing system towards the field of high pixels. Therefore, the requirement for high imaging quality is rapidly raised.

The conventional optical system of the portable electronic device usually has a two-piece lens. However, the optical system is asked to take pictures in a dark environment, in other words, the optical system is asked to have a large aperture. An optical system with large aperture usually has several problems, such as large aberration, poor image quality at periphery of the image, and hard to manufacture. In addition, an optical system of wide-angle usually has large distortion. Therefore, the conventional optical system provides high optical performance as required.

It is an important issue to increase the quantity of light entering the lens and the angle of field of the lens. In addition, the modern lens is also asked to have several characters, including high pixels, high image quality, small in size, and high optical performance.

The detail parameters of the first embodiment are listed in Table 1, in which the unit of radius of curvature, thickness, and focal length are millimeter, and surface 0-10 indicates the surfaces of all elements in the system in sequence from the object side to the image side. Table 2 is the list of coefficients of the aspheric surfaces, in which A1-A20 indicate the coefficients of aspheric surfaces from the first order to the twentieth order of each aspheric surface. The following embodiments have the similar diagrams and tables, which are the same as those of the first embodiment, so we do not describe it again.

Second Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, an optical image capturing system 20 of the second embodiment of the present invention includes, along an optical axis from an object side to an image side, an aperture 200, a first lens 210, a second lens 220, a third lens 230, an infrared rays filter 270, an image plane 280, and an image sensor 290.

The first lens 210 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 212 thereof, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 214 thereof, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface.

The second lens 220 has negative refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 222 thereof, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 224 thereof, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface. The image-side surface 224 has an inflection point.

The third lens 230 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 232, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 234, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface. The object-side surface 232 has two inflection points, and the image-side surface 234 has an inflection point.

The infrared rays filter 270 is made of glass, and between the third lens 230 and the image plane 280. The infrared rays filter 270 gives no contribution to the focal length of the system.

In the second embodiment, the first and the third lenses 210 and 230 are positive lenses, and their focal lengths are f1 and f3. The optical image capturing system of the second embodiment further satisfies ΣPP=f1+f3=9.59177 mm and f1/(f1+f3)=0.23269, where ΣPP is a sum of the focal lengths of each positive lens. It is helpful to share the positive refractive power of the first lens 210 to the other positive lens to avoid the significant aberration caused by the incident rays.

The optical image capturing system of the second embodiment further satisfies ΣNP=f2, where f2 is a focal length of the second lens 220, and ΣNP is a sum of the focal lengths of each negative lens.

The parameters of the lenses of the second embodiment are listed in Table 3 and Table 4.

An object-side surface 612, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 614, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface. The object-side surface 612 has an inflection point.

The second lens 620 has negative refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 622 thereof, which faces the object side, is a concave aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 624 thereof, which faces the image side, is a convex aspheric surface. The object-side surface 622 and the image-side surface 624 respectively have an inflection point.

The third lens 630 has positive refractive power, and is made of plastic. An object-side surface 632, which faces the object side, is a convex aspheric surface, and an image-side surface 634, which faces the image side, is a concave aspheric surface. The object-side surface 632 and the image-side surface 634 respectively have an inflection point.

The infrared rays filter 670 is made of glass, and between the third lens 630 and the image plane 680. The infrared rays filter 670 gives no contribution to the focal length of the system.

In the sixth embodiment, the first and the third lenses 610 and 630 are positive lenses, and their focal lengths are f1 and f3. The optical image capturing system of the sixth embodiment further satisfies ΣPP=f1+f3=4.0907 mm and f1/(f1+f3)=0.4377, where f1 is a focal length of the first lens 610, f3 is a focal length of the third lens 630, and ΣPP is a sum of the focal lengths of each positive lens. It is helpful to share the positive refractive power of the first lens 610 to the other positive lens to avoid the significant aberration caused by the incident rays.
